New sound card.

[Riosan]

As everyone here has most likely noticed, my sound card sucks. Even without my mic plugged in, I hear this faint white noise, right channel. It's really annoying when I try to talk to people, and all I get is "huh your mic sucks why i hear this beeeep".

Right now, I only have an integrated Realtek ALC883. What do you all recommend? Something reasonably priced.

Man, too bad you don't have RePC. They have, like, this BOXFUL of Soundblaster Live cards for $10 apiece or something.

Try picking up just an Audigy or something off Newegg. Something cheap and basic.

Yeah, I know, I was thinking of picking up this, because it's right in my price range.

That is fine.  I rock a SB Live! OEM that I harvested out of a computer 4-5 years ago that family was getting ready to throw away.

If you use windows vista, make sure that the Creative Card you're looking at actually has drivers. People are pledging to never by creative again by the thousands because of creative's sub-par support for vista. And that's after a Creative fanboy modded older drivers to work for vista got sued and was forced to remove the drivers.

If you use XP, you're golden.

Hooray, now I know what I need to save money for.

Well, they have normal human hands, albeit with fur and claws instead of nails, but yeaaah.

Plus online persona lol aside, I am actually human IRL. None of this 'soul of an impossible hybrid of a fantasy species and a feline I've never seen in person' shit.

best thing available right now is what I have for under $200

Auzentech X-Fi Prelude 7.1

Review: http://www.guru3d.com/article/auzentech-...71-review/

DTS will be released within the month.  Dolby Digital Live is already available since the review.
